Gasparini was once a huge name in pipes, not only for the pipes that carried their name, but as the major supplier for American companies such as mastercraft. These days the company is run by the second and third generation of the founder, and are largely unavailable in the us. We had a lovely visit with owners Marisa and Monica, and are happy to announce the return of Gasparini pipes to the US. This great, unique pipe has a cool round shape and is brand new with box and sock.
Peterson’s Speciality pipes first appeared in the brand’s 1945 catalogue and comprises a number of shapes which are named rather than numbered. These pipes eschew Peterson’s usual, muscular design style in favor of a more petite, slender shaping that’s remarkably lightweight. The pipes in this line are paired to lengthy vulcanite stems which highlight their willowy profiles, and they come available in a variety of finishes. This Billiard is here accented with a bright nickel band and is dressed in a crisp rustication. Length: 6.1 in. Weight: 0.85 oz. Bowl Height: 1.63 in. Chamber Depth: 1.46 in.
